To have a newer package built in the autobuilder, you _have_ to change
the version number to a newer version. You can do this with a new
version of software, if you have a new version of software. If you are
just changing the packaging, you change the packaging version. The
packaging version is the part after the dash; i.e. 1.0-1 the -1 is the
debian packaging version number. You can increment this, it will be
considered a newer package and should build.
You have to do this in the debian/changelog - that is the
authoritative location for versioning information for the package you
are creating.
Please see the maemo policy and/or the debian policy for more version
information.
